Divide your passwords – Divide your passwords into two parts: One that you can memorize; and one that you write down. Using this method, you can manage hundreds of passwords while only having to remember two or three things.

Make you passwords less predictable – Resist the temptation to slide in that upper case letter at the beginning of your password. This is all too easy for hackers to guess.

Also avoid adding sequential numbers – Hackers know all about passwords with numbers such as: 12345; or the variant 54321
